A propos de cet article
Two classic complete books-The Doors of Perception (originally published in 1954) and Heaven and Hell (originally published in 1956)-in which Aldous Huxley, author of Brave New World, explores, as only he can, the mind's remote frontiers and the unmapped areas of human consciousness. These two astounding books are among the most profound studies of the effects of mind-expanding drugs written in the 20th century-and they were essential for the counterculture during the 1960s, influencing a generation's perception of life. A genuine spiritual quest . . . Extraordinary.-New York Times Heaven and Hell] not only appears to be scientifically sound but is wonderfully entertaining.-The New Yorker.

Revue de presse
"There is nothing the pen of Huxley touches which it does not illuminate, and as the record of a highly civilised, brilliantly articulate man under the influence of an astonishing drug, The Doors of Perception is a tour de force" (Daily Telegraph)
"You can look at Aldous Huxley and draw parallels with the Beatles: Crome Yellow and Those Barren Leaves were his breakthrough Merseybeat books, Point Counter Point was his 'Revolver', with The Doors of Perception his full-blown Sergeant Pepper trip. Like the Beatles, Huxley had so many ideas in his head that it was natural he would want to expand and experiment. What drugs provided for them both was not escape, but reevaluation" (The Times)
"The Doors of Perception is a poignant book, partly because it reveals the human frailties and yearnings of a very cerebral writer" (Financial Times)
